Recent questions
How does one create strips from input geometry?
By preparing input geometry, converting it into quad faces, and creating strips using a for each Loop.
How can one procedurally peel chips using KinFX?
By creating code to unroll the strips using KinFX procedurally, allowing for adjustments in angle and timing.
What is the significance of half edges in creating connections between primitives?
Half edges are crucial for determining starting and ending points for edges, aiding in creating connections between primitives.
How can one optimize the creation of strips to avoid small connections?
By limiting the maximum connections to 100 and implementing nodes manually for more control.
What steps are involved in creating a peeling effect using KinFX rig functions?
By converting strips into polylines, establishing connections based on neighbor primitive numbers, and controlling rotation speed and range.
